Specific lesion urinary tract caused by Trichomonas vaginalis (Trichomonas vaginalis) - the simplest single-celled parasite belonging to the class of flagellates called urogenital trichomoniasis. This term is legitimized the International Classification of Diseases 9 th revision (Wiley, 1984) instead of different names used in the past.
Some patients also use other names: Trichomoniasis, Trichomonas, trihomaniaz, trihomonaz, trihamonaz, trihomanaz, trihamonady, trihomanady. We will use the term trichomoniasis.
Trichomoniasis - a widespread parasitic disease. Lupascu, Panaitescu (1971) suggest that each year in the world of 180 million people get sick. In the United States each year are infected trichomoniasis 2,5-3 million women [Rein, Muller, 1984]. Many researchers argue that the defeat of trichomoniasis men and women is roughly the same, about 10% of the adult population, but in men the disease is often transient, asymptomatic, diagnosed more difficult and, therefore, recorded much less frequently than women. For example, in England in 1975, the ratio of patients with trichomoniasis and gonorrhea women was 1:1,14, men - respectively 1:23,7. Perhaps this affects a different approach to the diagnosis of trichomoniasis in different countries and other factors.
Whatever the case, estimate the frequency of prevalence of men in various countries differ greatly.Thus, in the report the WHO Scientific Group (1984) notes that trichomonads are rarely the cause of non-gonococcal urethritis (NGU) in Poland Trichomoniasis is about 4% of all NSU in men [Mroczkowski et aL, 1984; Stapinski et al., 1985; Szarmach et al., 1985], Bulgaria - 10% [Bonev, A., 1985; Karagozov VI, Tsvetkov, D., 1985], in the Soviet Union - from 23 to 47% [Avanesov AA, 1970; Shetsiruli L. T . et al, 1974; Zadorozhnyi BA Petrov, BR, 1978].
Urogenital Trichomoniasis is a sexually transmitted infections are usually sexually transmitted and are often combined with gonococci, chlamydia, ureaplasma, Gardnerella vaginalis and fungi Candida.Non-sexual mode of transmission has no practical significance (WHO, Geneva, 1984). Although the ICD-9 genitourinary Trichomoniasis attributed not to sexually transmitted, and to infectious and parasitic diseases (item 131.0), now universally recognized his sexual transmission [Skripkin Yu, K. et al, 1985; Holmes et al., 1984]. In the Soviet Union in relation to trichomoniasis patients used the same measures of prevention and dispensary services, as well as with respect to patients with gonorrhea (Decree of the Minister of Health on 08/27/1981 was).
